Brad Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Ad listing: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridaySales/Store/OfficeMax Scans: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/AdScans
racerfan Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Thanks. I dont have an Office Max nearby, but I can always shop online.
Marcster Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Brad, you're the man! At first glance, this will be one of my stops. Still waiting to see what Office Depot & the rest of the Staples ad holds...
The End Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Thanks for posting the ad. Now all I need is for the Staples ad to show up so I can compare & contrast what the two stores have to offer.
amberjobryant Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I cannot believe they do not have a cheap desktop!!!
Bruiser1 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 The laptop with a Sempron CPU and over $400.00? Why not offer a laptop with a Pentium 2 CPU? Sorry, but this is silly.
yuyi64 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 The laptop with a Sempron CPU and over $400.00? Why not offer a laptop with a Pentium 2 CPU? Sorry, but this is silly.Because there will always be shoppers who don't know the difference between all the different processors on the market and will buy the laptop based on price alone. The ones with the cheaper processors probably have a higher gross margin than the ones with Core2Duos, especially if they're selling for similar prices.

She just uses her computer to browse the Internet and send email. She really doesn't even use Word. That laptop would be great for her.
Bruiser1 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) It's just that this is such dated technology, which would be slow even for internet and word by todays standards. In comparison, you'd be better off looking for a Pentium M (which is at least 6 year ol technology) laptop which would sell for less money, if you could even find it. In reference to someone who just wants a basic laptop, there are much better deals available right now for less money. For Example... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9027698&productCategoryId=abcat0502001&type=product&id=1218010578770&AID=10597222&PID=552179&SID=865728-2-0-ARTICLE-0&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Folspage.jsp%3FskuId%3D9027698%26productCategoryId%3Dabcat0502001%26type%3Dproduct%26id%3D1218010578770&ref=39&loc=01 Edited November 16, 2008 by Bruiser1

That laptop would be great for her.Very true, but if you could buy her a laptop with a better processor for the same price or less why wouldn't you?
deelite Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Very true, but if you could buy her a laptop with a better processor for the same price or less why wouldn't you?Hmmmmm...good point. I like the fact that they open 2 hours later. I want the $39.99 digital picture frame with remote (the first I have seen so far for this price) and the keyboard combo seems like a good deal if it is wireless. Still waiting for Staples and Office Depot BF ad.

The ones with the cheaper processors probably have a higher gross margin than the ones with Core2Duos, especially if they're selling for similar prices.Well, I think this ad is a joke! NO FREEBATES at all!!!And I right away ruled out the laptop just because Best Buy's was cheaper with a bigger hard drive. I didn't know about the processor stuff - it's a little bit Greek to me. But if I'm not mistaken the Best Buy laptop had the Core 2 Duo so even better! Hopefully Office Depot will offer some free stuff - BF is a sport for me and I'm all about the FREE.
NTBoard Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 My hubby REALLY wants a 10" digital frame this year. $89.99 is an awesome price ~ hope it's a good frame. Should be as it's a Memorex! +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!!Niccole
cinnamon16201 Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Does anybody know if Office Max price matches?
crazypurgatory Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 I need a little help with the ad I can't see the model number for the Acer 22 inch LCD monitor. Does any body have any super special program that can see it? I'm going to guess it's the AL2216Wbd thats $219.99 now. But in the ad it looks like the X223WBD thats $257.95 now. And it would be nice to see how much the rebate is for too. If anybody can help. "Thanks":)
leefamily23 Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Does anyone know anything about the digital camcorder for $59.99? I'm looking for something cheap for my son. He pretty much will only take it to the skatepark, and he broke my last 2- that I paid good money for. Something he can easily upload unto his laptop would be great.
deelite Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 If anyone is interested, OfficeMax is supposed to start their Thanksgiving sale at 12:00 CST. [ATTACH]2664[/ATTACH] http://www.officemax.com/omax/

deelite Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I was hoping to order the Linkysy MiMo router, but the website says it is discontinued & not avail? Its in teh BF ad for 39.99 Same here...I keep trying to get the keyboard, mouse, webcam combo, but it keeps telling me discontinued. That make no sense at all!! Oh well....
fairydustcrissy Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Same here...I keep trying to get the keyboard, mouse, webcam combo, but it keeps telling me discontinued. That make no sense at all!! Oh well....I ended up getting my router & phone in-store. hardly any line at all, and everything was on a table as soon as you walked in. Back in the car in less than 5 mins :) Now, if only I could get the router set up.....but I LOVE the phone.
